| Mahamrityunjaya Mantra |
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra or Lord Shiva Mantra is considered extremely powerful and significant by the Hindus. Also known as the Moksha Mantra of Lord Shiva, chanting of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is said to create divine vibrations that heals. Devotees of Lord Shiva further believe that Maha Mrityunjaya evokes the Shiva within human beings and removes the fear of death, liberating one from the cycle of death and rebirth.
There are many Mantra/hymn for warding off evils like death and other suffering given in the sacred literature of the Hindu’s. The Mrityunjaya Mantra has been extolled in sacred literature as being the best. This Mantra is addressed to Lord Shiva and is taught in the Rig Veda [7.39.12] as well as the Yajur Veda [3-60] showing that it is a Sruti received by Maharishi Vasistha, the Kula Guru of Bhagavan Sri Ramachandra.
Anybody can recite this mantra and attain good health, release from bondage and other problems.
These body parts are the crucial centers for the spiritual energy.
Head: - Rishi (Guru/teacher of the Mantra) is Maharishi Vasistha.
Devataa (the deity of the Mantra) - hridaya (heart):- In this case the Devataa is Lord Shiva addressed as “Sri Mrityunjaya Tryambakeswara Devataa”.
Mouth: - Channda (meter, which is technically very specific for each Mantra).
Padas/feet: - This vedic mantra is in Anusthup Channda and accordingly this is a meter having
four pada (feet) of 8 phonemes each making the entire Anusthup meter as composed of 32 (8 x
4 = 32) syllables. It maybe noted that any change in the meter shall cause a distortion in the
Channda and the mantra vibration shall be ruined.
“The first pada is Trayambakam Yajamahe and means – “We worship or sing the praise of Lord
Trayambaka.”
Trayambaka is the name of Lord Shiva as the father of the three worlds - Bhu, Bhuva and
Svarga Lokas. He is the father and lord of the three mandalaas - Surya, Soma and Agni
mandala. He is Maheswara, the lord of the three Guna’s - Satva, Rajas and Tamas. He is the
Sadashiva, the teacher of the three Tatvaas - Atma Tatva, Vidya Tatva and Shiva Tatva. He is
the father (cause and source) of the three energies/Agni - Aavaahaniya, Garhapatya and
Dakshinagni. He is the father of all physical creation through the three Murti Bhuta - Prithivi
(solid), Jala /liquid and Tejas/radiance or Agni /Thermal energy. He is the lord of the three
heavens created by the dominance of the three Gunas - Rajas (Brahma), Satva (Vishnu) and
Tamas (Shiva). Know Him to be the nirakara (formless) Sadashiva as He is above this
physical mode and is their Maheswara. This is the first foot of the Mantra (composed of eight
syllables).”
Bija (the seed syllable that created the Mantra and contains the Mantra within itself, like the
seed that creates the tree) - Ling - the Jyotirlinga.
TRAYAMBAKKAM refers to the three eyes of Lord Shiva. ‘Trya’ means ‘Three’ and
‘Ambakam’ means eyes. These three eyes or sources of enlightenment are the Trimurti or three
primary deities, namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and the three ‘AMBA’ (also meaning
Mother or Shakti’ are Saraswati, Lakshmi and Gouri. Thus in this word, we are referring to
God as Omniscient (Brahmaa), Omnipresent (Vishnu) and Omnipotent (Shiva). This is the
wisdom of Brihaspati and is referred to as Sri Duttatreya having three heads of Brahmaa,
Vishnu and Shiva. Shakti (the physical power of the Mantra like the mother) - Pada (feet): It is
the giver of gati or direction. In this case the Shakti is Devi Amriteswari.
YAJAMAHE means, “We sing Thy praise”.
The second pada of the mantra is Sugandhima Pushtivardhanam. Sugandhima refers to the
fragrance of the flower that spreads in all directions, and in a similar way Shiva is present in the
entire creation, both animate and inanimate. In all the bhutas (modes of existence), in the three
Gunas (nature of creation as being Satva, Rajas or Tamas), in the ten Indriyas (five Gyanaindriyas
or senses and five Karma-indriyas or organs of action), in all the Devataas (33
Devataass are the source of all illumination and enlightenment) and the Ganas (hosts of demigods),
Shiva exists and pervades as the illumine Aatma (soul) and is their essence.
Pustivardhanam is now being explained. That inward dwelling spirit (Aatman), the Purusha Shiva is the real sustainer of Prakrati/Nature (and not vice-versa as all people perceive). Starting with the Mahatatva (primordial state of matter/energy) to the individual parts of Creation, the entire sustenance of the physically created beings (both animate and inanimate) is done by the imperishable Purusha. You, I, Brahmaa, Vishnu, the Munis/sages and even Indra and Devataas are maintained/sustained (by the Aatma and at is Him). Since the Purusha (Atma - Shiva) is the granter of sustenance to Prakrati (body/nature), he is ‘Pusti-vardhana’.”
The next two Padas (consisting of sixteen syllables) is Urvaarukamiva bandhanan mrtyor muksiya maamrtaat meaning – “Prabhu! Just as the ripe cucumber is severed from the bondage of the creeper, in the same manner may we be delivered from death for the sake of immortality (Moksha). Rudra Deva is like Amrita (nectar of immortality). Those who worship Him with good Karma, penance and repentance, meditation, contemplation, prayer or praise, will surely renewed life and vigor. The strength of truth force (in this Mantra) is such that Lord Shiva shall definitely free the worshipper from the bondage of death because Shiva alone is the giver of bondage and Moksha.
This is the Mritasanjivani Mantra and has the power to give back life and rescue from death and great evils. You should adore Lord Shiva and recite this mantra. Water sanctified with this Mantra should be drunk all the time.
Understanding the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is made clear as below:---
• It is important to understand the meaning of the words as this makes the repetition meaningful and brings forth the results.
• OM is not spelt out in the Rig-Veda, but has to be added to the beginning of all Mantras as given in an earlier Mantra of the Rig-Veda addressed to Ganapati.
• SUGANDHIM refers to His fragrance (of knowledge, presence and strength i.e. three aspects) as being the best and always spreading around. Fragrance refers to the joy that we get on knowing, seeing or feeling His virtuous deeds.
• PUSTIVARDHANAM: Pushan refers to Him as the sustainer of this world and in this manner. He is the Father of all. Pushan is also the inner impeller of all knowledge and is thus Savita or the Sun and also symbolizes Brahmaa the Omniscient Creator. In this manner He is also the Father of all.
• URVAAROKAMEVA: ‘URVA’ means “VISHAL” or big and powerful or deadly. ‘AAROOKAM’ means ‘Disease’. Thus URVAROOKA means deadly and overpowering diseases. (The CUCUMBER interpretation given in various places is also correct for the word URVAROOKAM). The diseases are also of three kinds caused by the influence (in the negative) of the three Guna’s and are ignorance (Avidya etc), falsehood (Asat etc as even though Vishnu is everywhere, we fail to perceive Him and are guided by our sight and other senses) and weaknesses
• BANDANAAN means bound down. Thus read with URVAROOKAMEVA, it means ‘I am bound down by deadly and overpowering diseases’.
• MRITYORMOOKSHEYA means to deliver us from death (both premature death in this world and from the never ending cycle of deaths due to re-birth) for the sake of Mokshya (Nirvana or final emancipation from re-birth).
MAAMRITAAT means ‘please give me some Amritam (life rejuvinating nectar). Read with the previous word, it means that we are praying for some ‘Amrit’’ to get out of the death inflicting diseases as well as the cycle of re-birth [specially the water is given to a dying because the water (of river Ganga obtained at Gangotri) is Amrit for men].

| Lord Shiva- Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra |
In view of the multiplicity of meanings of Aapah/Jal/plasma the following extracts from Rig Veda and modern astronomy should be read. Amrit is water as opposed to Aapah/plasma that is poison (drunk by lord Shiva) and Soma means Cosmic Background Radiations (because the universe is created exactly as before according to the dictum Yathaa Poorvam Akalpyat [R.V.10.190.3] in accordance with the theory of opposites. Hence as in the following Shiva Ling is cooled by water and the same water as Soma flows out through Soma Sutra on the Pithika. While going around the Ling one has to go half way and the Soma Sutra is never crossed.
Sukta 1.23:--- Yaayu Chhand: Gayatri
16) “The mother like Jal/water is friendly for those desirous of Yagna and proceed on the path of Yagna giving strength to milk.
17) “The Jal/plasma situated near the Surya/sun is requested to sprinkled in our Yagna
18) “ We like the water that our cows drink. We offer Havies to flowing water.
19) “Amrit (as the opposite of poison drunk by Lord Shiva, according to the theory of opposites) resides in Apa / Jal / water, medicines and we are enlightened by praising it.
20) “As said by Soma: water is that element of medicines. It has the qualities of Apa/Jal is described as that Jal/water that gives Agni/energy and gives happiness and health (as opposed to Jal near Surya/waters/plasma that is a poison).
21) “Fill my (Rishi Meghatithi Kanwah) body with medicines that protects the body so that we are free from diseases and for me to have Darshan/sight of Surya/sun till eternity.
22) “Waters! Flush out the sins situated in you. Punish me for the bad words, feeling of hatred and false manners.
23) “Today I obtained the Aapah in the true sense. They have filled me with Rasa. Hey Agni! Come with the waters and make me glorious.
24) “Let me be glorious. me with Praja/performers of Yagna and Vaayu. May Deva Gana, Rishi Gana and Indradeva know my praises.
Sukta 5.52:-- 12) “Those desirous of waters praise them by Chhandas and invited the Koop/well/coronal holes/solar spots for thirsty Gautam
Sukta 5.54 : --- 2) “They (Marut Ganas)reveal themselves by their qualities. They aspire for the waters for the protection of the universe and particulate plasma
Sukta 5.55:
1) “Equipped with shining weapons, Marut Ganas are enveloped by with Anna/proton and electron plasma, capable of imparting youth (by infusing the corona molecular hydrogen back into the core of the Surya).
Sukta 5.57:--- 1) “…They are desirous of Jal/waters and bring Jal /water for the thirsty Gautam.
18) “O King! I cover your delicate parts by the Kavacha/armor. Soma envelops you with Amrit/elixir for immortality. The Devatas rejoice in his victory

| Lord Shiva - Mahamrityunjaya Mantra |
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is considered extremely powerful and significant by the Hindus and is also known as the Liberating/Moksha Mantra of Lord Shiva. Chanting of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is said to create divine vibrations that heals. Devotees of Lord Shiva further believe that Maha Mrityunjaya evokes the Shiva within human beings and removes the fear of death, liberating one from the cycle of death and rebirth. This is reflected in modern astronomical observations of the Sun.
When the positive forces, the Devatas, and the negative forces, the Asuras, joined together on a rare occasion to churn the ocean with a mountain to obtain the nectar of immortality they utilized Vasuki, the serpent [Serpent
means Surya/sun according to R.V. 1.164.1], as the rope. The Devataas pulled from one end and the asuras from the other. Vasuki/Surya was upset during the process of this churning, and vomited up a poison- Halaahalaa. This "poison" was so dangerous that none of the Devataas or Asuras wanted to go near it. It was extremely sticky and coming into contact with this poison, i.e., human karma, would drag the divinity down to the realms of human suffering and ego. As everyone else ran away, Lord Shiva, followed by Nandi, came forward to help as he was the only one who could counteract this deadly poison. Shiva took the poison into his hand and drank it, the descent of the poison was in turn stopped at His throat, by His divine consort. Shiva is therefore also known as the blue-throated One (Neelakantha) and Vishakantha (the One bearing poison in His throat). Nandi saw some of the poison spill out of Shiva's mouth and immediately drank if off the ground. The Devataas and Asuras watching were shocked and wondered aloud what would happen to Nandi. Lord Siva calmed their fears saying, "Nandi has surrendered
into me so completely that he has all my powers and my protection
Between the radiative zone and the convection zone is a transition layer. This is a region where the sharp regime change between the uniform rotation of the radiative zone and the differential rotation of the convection zone results in a large shear—a condition where successive horizontal layers slide past one another. The fluid motions found in the convection zone above, slowly disappear from the top of this layer to its bottom, matching the calm characteristics of the radiative zone on the bottom. Presently, it is hypothesized that a magnetic dynamo within this layer generates the Sun’s magnetic field.
This phenomena in the radiative zone and the convective zone is similar to boiling water in a beaker, This also helps to elongate the life of the Surya (Mrutanjaya Gayatri Mantra :
Om : “Trayambakam Yajamahe SugandhimTustivardhanama
Urvaarukam Miva Badhanaanamrutyormukshiya Mamrataata”.
Sukta 5.55:
 |
| Lord Shiva - Mahamrityunjaya Mantra |
1) “Equipped with shining weapons, Marut Ganas are enveloped by with Anna/proton and electron plasma, capable of imparting youth (by infusing the corona molecular hydrogen back into the core of the Surya). The shining necklaces are shining on their breasts. The fast moving horses following the rules carry them on their back speedily. The chariots of Marut Ganas move with dexterity behind all others. .
Process that elongates the life of Surya :----
In the Sun’s outer layer, from its surface down to approximately 200,000 km (or 70% of the solar radius), the solar plasma is not dense enough or hot enough to transfer the heat energy of the interior outward through radiation (in other words it is opaque enough).
As a result, thermal convection occurs as thermal columns carry hot material to the surface (photosphere) of the Sun. Once the material cools off at the surface, it plunges downward to the base of the convection zone, to receive more heat from the top of the radiative zone. At the
visible surface of the Sun, the temperature has dropped to 5,700 K and the density to only 0.2 g/m3 (about 1/10,000th the density of air at sea level) . This is the reason why the life of the Surya/Sun is prolonged.
The thermal columns in the convection zone form an imprint on the surface of the Sun The turbulent convection of this outer part of the solar interior causes a “small-scale” dynamo that produces magnetic north and south poles all over the surface of the Sun.
Granules on the photosphere of the Sun are caused by convection currents /thermal columns) of plasma within the Sun’s convective zone. The grainy appearance of the solar photosphere is produced by the tops of these convective cells
The rising part of the granules is located in the center where the plasma is hotter. The outer edge of the granules is darker due to the cooler descending plasma. In addition to the visible appearance, Doppler shift measurements of the light from individual granules provide evidence for the convective nature of the granules.
A typical granule has a diameter on the order of 1,000 kilometers and lasts 8 to 20 minutes before dissipating. Below the photosphere is a layer of supergranules up to 30,000 kilometers in diameter with lifespans of up to 24 hours.
